Point Source SNR Plots . In this section we present plots which may be used to rapidly estimate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for point sources with stellar spectra observed through popular WFPC2 filters. ... There are separate lines for PC1 (light lines) and the WFC (heavy lines), as well as for ATD-GAIN=7 (default, solid lines), and ATD-GAIN=15 (dashed lines). Dotted lines across the top of each plot indicate the onset of saturation. ... We now give a sample SNR calculation using these plots. ...

... Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2 . ... Filter Types . ... It is important to make the distinction between a protocol and a resource filter. ... If you are writing a filter and you want to know if it is resource or protocol, the correct question to ask is: "Can this filter be removed if the request is redirected to a different resource?" ... So, instead of starting from scratch, we simply point the front of the resource filters for the sub-request to the front of the protocol filters for the old...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...
